The lake lies picturesquely in the valley and offers plenty of seating around it. The barbecue area at the foot of the waterfalls is particularly highlighted: three rotating grates are attached to the fire pit and there are not only many tables with benches, but also a drinking water fountain and two shelters - one for bicycles, for example. Great facilities!

Wonderful refreshment when it's hot. So: take a towel with you! But it also works without it. :-)

Hiking

The Sankenbachsee is a former karst lake southwest of Baiersbronn. It silted up around 3,000 years ago and could be artificially dammed up again because it lies below the Sankenbach waterfalls and is flowed through by the Sankenbach. In the 1980s, a low barrage was built at the outflow of the Sankenbach to protect the lake from silting up.
